Two days! Yowza! I'm beginning to suspect that marmalade is just a lot of work no matter which recipe you choose. Let's each save a jar to trade with each other when you come back out. I want to taste yours too.

marmalade update…even with the simplified recipe, it took 6 hours spread over 2 days to make. Worth it though because it looks beautiful and tastes scrumptiously delicious. Thanks for the inspiration to try it.

Hey Wendy–Your marmalade looks great and inspired me to buy oranges and lemons to try making some myself. However, after reading your all-day saga, I decided I didn't want to invest that much time and effort. So I looked on the internet and selected the recipe from the Barefoot Contessa with the least number of ingredients and steps. We'll have to run a taste comparison if either of us have any left by summer.

Mom — That strawberry jam was on my mind many a time while I was making the marmalade! I remember pulling it out of the freezer in the downstairs refrigerator and eating it all summer long. For what it's worth, it was probably the most delicious jam I've ever had.
